“You think you can steal the kill? I will be the first to cut off this Wyvern’s head!”
A Hero shouted, a white light shone around him, and his speed increased dramatically.
He swiftly overtook Zachary, approached the Wyvern, and swung his sword down!
With a thunderous boom, his sword penetrated the Wyvern’s scales and impaled its heart. Dragon blood splattered all over him.
Unfazed, he yanked out his sword and stabbed it again.
The heavily injured Wyvern let out a mournful cry and collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
This victory greatly boosted the morale of the Wolf Fang team!
“Good job, brother!”
“We didn’t get to slaughter a dragon, so let’s have fun with a Bipedal Wyvern first!”
“I wonder what dragon meat tastes like? It’s said that dragon liver and phoenix gall are the finest delicacies in the world. Maybe today we’ll get a chance to taste it.”
A group of heroes charged forward, cheering, while Zachary, who was at the front of the queue, subtly slowed down, falling back to the middle of the group…
No one knew better than him how terrifying this dungeon was.
Boom!
Suddenly, a booming sound echoed from the darkness, a surge of green dragon flame erupted, catching many heroes off guard.
Although it didn’t endanger their lives, many of their pieces of equipment turned into scrap iron under the corrosive dragon flame.
“Another one?” Kevin’s voice filled with surprise echoed, and another green dragon flame answered him.
Kevin quickly dodged to the side, and the dragon flame hit the wall with a thunderous sound, corroding a large pit in the wall and causing numerous stones to fall.
He immediately retaliated, jumping high, he clenched his axe and aimed a blow at the Bipedal Wyvern’s wing.
His axe struck the hard shell of the wing, causing sparks to fly.
Kevin felt a shock in his palm, nearly dislocating it.
But his attack yielded a considerable result. His axe was a golden weapon, and he had the [Strength of the Bull] boost, this blow severed one of the Bipedal Wyvern’s wings.
The Bipedal Wyvern screamed as it fell, and the group of heroes would not miss the opportunity to hit a man when he’s down.
They yelled and rushed towards this newly emerged Bipedal Wyvern.
The group of heroes were all experienced veterans.
They quickly figured out how to deal with the Bipedal Wyvern, and the second one was gradually losing ground under their siege.
Kevin swung his axe again, landing a heavy blow on the Bipedal Wyvern!
This time, the Bipedal Wyvern couldn’t hold on any longer.
It was thrown to the ground, it struggled to stand up, shaking its head to shake off the fresh blood.
The Bipedal Wyvern stared angrily at Kevin, letting out a low growl.
“Roar!”
Its roar was full of anger, with no trace of panic… Kevin’s heart tightened, he quickly looked into the dark dungeon.
“There can’t be more…”
The sound of flapping wings answered Kevin’s guess, and reality was much worse than his worst-case scenario…
The Bipedal Wyverns that appeared were not just one, just the first wave in front of the heroes were five Bipedal Wyverns.
Shocked, Kevin couldn’t help but curse at Zachary: “Is this the feeble Golden Dragon Dark Lord you were talking about? What’s with all these Bipedal Wyverns? Didn’t you say you scouted thoroughly? Why wasn’t there a single mention of these wyverns in your report?”
“This…” Zachary gave a bitter smile, he didn’t know how to respond, so he pretended to be silent…
With a cold snort, Kevin looked at the group of Bipedal Wyverns.
He knew this was not the time to be angry with Zachary.
The situation was not optimistic.
If the Golden Dragon were to attack again, their Wolf Fang might be completely annihilated here.
Kevin made an immediate decision, with a wave of his hand, he ordered loudly: “All brothers above Rank B, follow me to cover the rear! The rest of you, retreat quickly! The intelligence was wrong, this Golden Dragon is far stronger than we anticipated, we need reinforcements!”
“The threat of this Golden Dragon Dark Lord is far beyond the other Dark Lords. I’ll ask for reinforcements from the imperial capital. We must commit everything to extinguishing him before he becomes unstoppable!”
Wolf Fang’s Heroes sprung into action, showing incredible discipline.
A handful of Rank B Heroes blocked the onslaught of the Bipedal Wyverns, allowing others to start retreating in an orderly fashion.
Their levels were about the same as the Bipedal Wyverns, it’s just that they were at a significant disadvantage in terms of size.
But if their purpose was just to obstruct the Wyverns’ progress, the difficulty wasn’t too high.
Wyvern after Wyvern charged in, letting out ear-piercing roars.
The two biggest Bipedal Wyverns targeted Kevin, launching a pincer attack.
Kevin brandished his axe and repelled the two Wyverns, then he leaped onto a nearby wall.
The Wyverns’ target was Kevin, they instantly turned and lunged towards him.
Their enormous wings stirred up gusts of wind, their momentum was staggering!
Kevin pushed hard against the wall, lifted his axe, and hacked towards the head of one of the Wyverns.
With a loud ‘thud’, Kevin’s axe was driven directly into the Wyvern’s head.
Its skull was shattered, blood was splattered all around in a gruesome spectacle.
Meanwhile, the other Wyvern swooped in, intending to tear Kevin apart.
But Kevin was prepared, he leaped into the air, evading the Wyvern’s attack.
The Wyvern missed Kevin and instead collided with the heavily wounded Wyvern, both plummeting to the ground, causing the entire castle to tremble slightly.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, the situation was getting dire.
Several Heroes had already fallen under the Wyvern’s siege and became food in the Wyvern’s stomach.
“I’ll cover the retreat, you guys go first!” Kevin shouted, his body radiating with a red glow. His strength and speed instantly increased.
He activated a skill that could temporarily boost all attributes, not for the sake of killing enemies, but just to cover his comrades’ retreat.
Kevin’s figure kept shifting in the air, counterattacking!
One Wyvern pounced in front of him, its claw sweeping over.
Kevin lifted his axe and hacked off the Wyvern’s claw, forcing it down to the ground.
Then he swung his axe and hacked down on its head.
The Wyvern’s head was beaten in, exposing the white bones, with brain matter and blood flowing out.
The Wyvern let out a painful hiss and struggled hard. It swished its tail towards Kevin.
Kevin quickly leaned back, then pushed forward with both legs, leaping towards another teammate who was being attacked.
With Kevin’s help, one by one, the Heroes in danger managed to escape from the claws of the dragon.
They didn’t have time to thank Kevin and began to retreat from the Dungeon.
The red light around him gradually faded, after rescuing the last comrade, Kevin did not linger on the battlefield, he started sprinting towards the Dungeon’s exit.
But not long after he ran out, he heard a series of painful screams…
“No…”
“Help, save me!”
Kevin stopped, carefully approached, and what he saw next made his heart drop.
Again, it was the Bipedal Wyverns, and there were five of them, completely blocking the Dungeon’s exit.𝗈𝑽𝐋xt.𝗰𝑜𝓜
All the Heroes who tried to leave the Dungeon were met with a brutal massacre…
One by one, his once familiar comrades fell.
Kevin didn’t even dare to gasp for air.
Without his life-saving skill, he was already at his limit facing one or two Wyverns, not to mention being sandwiched between an attack force in front and pursuers from behind.
His gaze finally settled on a Hero named Zachary.
Unlike his screaming companions, Zachary was leisurely strolling through a group of Bipedal Wyverns.
He even had the audacity to advise them not to damage any valuable spoils of war with their dragon flame.
“That traitor!”
Hatred instantly filled Kevin’s mind. Compared to these Bipedal Wyverns, Zachary seemed more detestable in his eyes.
Everything started making sense. This whole mess was a trap laid by the Golden Dragon Dark Lord. They had swallowed the bait hook, line, and sinker…
“I wonder how many Heroes have pledged allegiance to this Golden Dragon Dark Lord…”
“I must return to the Imperial Capital, gather all the Heroes, and seek assistance from the powerful warriors of the Sunset Empire!”
“This Golden Dragon Dark Lord…he mustn’t be allowed to grow any stronger!”
He glanced at his howling companions, watching them being turned into meals for the Bipedal Wyverns, and Kevin closed his eyes in anguish.
“My brothers, I’m sorry. I, Kevin, must survive for a greater cause…I swear, I will avenge all of you.”
Quietly, he sneaked towards the corner of the Dungeon. With his A-rank abilities, these Bipedal Wyverns would hardly be able to capture him.
After a few leaps, Kevin managed to bypass the defensive line of these Wyverns and finally reached the entrance of the Dungeon. The light from the exit was getting closer…
Finally, Kevin reached the exit. The sunrays fell upon him, and he closed his eyes in bliss. He had never imagined basking in the sunlight could be such a wonderful experience.
A golden line slowly appeared around Kevin’s neck. His head started to separate from his body, and hot blood gushed out, spraying into the sky.
Just like that, Kevin died, a blissful smile on his face till the very end.
